And equally, this volume relates two almost unconnected adventures, and leaves a lot of loose ends. I did need the recaps of the salient points from Throne of jade, as I'd kind of forgotten the plot after only a couple of months. I think if I didn't have lovely cartesiandaemon helpfully supplying me with sequels as fast as I can read them, I think I'd get a bit annoyed with the series for being so episodic. Like Throne of jade (which I should get round to writing about), it's a one-bite book, I sat down and read through it, and it was fun and exciting, but nothing much stands out. I had to stop and pet all the lovely books before I could choose which one to start with this wasn't the most urgent, but I thought some of the others wouldn't work straight after a Miles book.īlack powder war does feel a bit like some new episodes in a series, albeit a fun series. How it came into my hands: My wonderful Beau brought me a whole pile of books I really want to read, mostly continuations of series I've already started. Reasons for reading it: I had fun with the first two in the series, and wanted something unlike Bujold to follow Brothers in arms Verdict: Black powder war is an enjoyable continuation of the series.
